Excellent service. Very clean and spacious rooms. Only thing that would make the stay better would be access to an ice machine. Was a bit apprehensive at first when I saw the gated parking. After seening some of the wanderers outside of the gate after dark, I felt safer and a lot more secure having the parking area gated. I spend a lot of time in hotels/motels. This property ranke towards the top of my motel experience.

The lady is always super nice. Actually very safe for the area because it is gated. Mostly clean worst I saw was a time when one room needed a little cleaning and the curtain might need to be tightened. As for the amenities a little light but so is the price for your wallet.

Room was clean and nicer than I expected for the price. Staff was helpful. Only complaint is that the beds are super hard. I understand that they will last longer which keeps costs down but it was like sleeping on a wooden block with a cardboard topper.
